My Angers Week picks

There will be so much going on next week as part of Angers Week. I thought I would share my picks. (Although it’s very personal and you should check the full schedule at AngersWeek.com. All events are also on the French in Austin calendar.)

the festival’s pre party at Kitty Cohen’s, complete with crêpes and live music by one of the four Angers bands coming to Austin this fall: Cherry Plum (also playing at Lenoir on Wednesday, ), on Sunday from 6pm;

the Angers restaurant Un Brin Folk culinary pop up at Kitty Cohen’s too with music by Eric Débris aka DoctorMix, and in partnership with the East Austin Cajun food truck Baton Creole, on Wednesday November 9 from 6pm;

and children’s cartoons programmed by Angers film festival Premiers Plans at Vortex, the artist owned theater in which the Butterfly Bar is located.

There’s a lot more, and you should check the full listing of events on AngersWeek.com, Facebook or the French in Austin calendar (from which you could easily add all French-speaking and francophile events in Austin to your calendar using the Google Agenda button).

The covers for the different shows are very reasonable given the number and quality of the bands playing, but if you’re short on money and still want to attend, you could volunteer with Austin Angers Creative (the organizer of the festival) as an event floater on SignUp.com. There are also opportunities to put up flyers and posters, and to pick up artists or the Angers chef at the airport. Check them out on SignUp.com!
